HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BISWAJIT PALIT Order

20/03/2026

Learned Senior Counsel, Mr. Somik Deb assisted by

Learned Counsel, Mr. Jishan Samed is present on behalf of the

petitioner.

This writ petition is filed by the petitioner challenging

the letter dated 26.02.2026 forwarded by Directorate of Medical

Education, Government of Tripura to the Principal, Agartala

Government Medical College wherein the name of the present

petitioner was not recommended by the Authority. Rather

according to Learned Senior Counsel, the Medical Officers who

were junior to the petitioner were considered and the petitioner,

being a qualified person having requisite qualification was

arbitrarily ignored by the Authority for the purpose of his

promotion and as such, this present writ petition is filed.

It was further submitted by Learned Senior Counsel

that since the process is going on, so, a direction may be given for

keeping one post vacant till disposal of the writ petition.

Learned Senior G.A., Mr. Pradyumna Gautam appears

on behalf of the State-respondent and seeks time to take

appropriate instructions in this regard.

Request is considered.

List the matter on 08.05.2026.

In the meantime, the respondent-authority shall keep

one post vacant for the petitioner till disposal of the writ petition.

                                                                       JUDGE
